I use Git for the following reasons:

1. _Very_ easy to get up and running. Setting up a Git server is about 
as easy as it gets:

git daemon --base-path=/some/where --user=git --detach

2. The documentation is superb (IMHO): http://git-scm.com/documentation

3. Branches are very cheap.

4. It is fast.

5. I feel I can trust it with my precious code.  :o)

The other systems you mention might be both as easy, trustworthy and 
fast, but it's been a couple years since I tried any of them, so I 
wouldn't know it.

Actually this page describes my reasons pretty well:

Yea, the URL is a bit offensive/flame-baity, but the arguments are valid 
enough.
